I’m just about 15weeks
post relaxer and I’m ending my stretch this week. I was planning for 16 weeks but I don’t want
the hassle of relaxing my hair over Easter holidays. I just want to relax and
spend some time with my family.

I have skipped a couple of
wash days because I haven’t been doing much to my hair. My weekly regimen hasn't changed and my style
of choice has been flexi-rods and buns. While bunning, I used the tension method to stretch my new
growth with a blow dryer. The tension method is simply stretching your new
growth with your hand and blow drying your hair so it dries in that stretched
state. The tension method does a great
job in stretching my new growth but the process could be tedious and overwhelming.
If you’re strapped for time do not attempt this because, you could get
frustrated and impatient which will lead to you mis-managing your hair, which
ends up breakage. Flexi-rods is another great method to stretch your new
growth.

My first self relaxer in
December 2012 left me with severe under-processed hair that I opted to get a
relaxer by my hairdresser 6 weeks later on February 2013. In 2014, I mastered the courage to attempt self relaxing again and haven't looked back since. I knew for sure I didn't want
bone straight hair but not texlaxed hair either because that almost looks
natural. Then I realized there are
various types of texlaxed texture, which are tightly coiled or loosen pattern. I
chose the loosen pattern. I don’t comb through my relaxer, but smooth it out
with my fingers and I also add natural oils to buy me some more time during processing
time.

Waving a big hello to you
guys. I know I haven’t posted in a little while but I’m working on improving
that. I've also been keeping up with all your blogs.

I’ll be honest my stretch
wasn't going so well when I was 8 weeks post relaxer. The single strand knots were
driving me crazy and I was wondering how I would make it to 16 weeks with this
nightmare.

Air drying my hair loosely
simply wasn't going to cut it anymore so I decided to try flexi-rods and I must
say it made my life a lot easier. My new growth was stretched, the number of
single strand knots was reduced, my hair was loose, and so I didn't have to
worry about any tension from my hair being pulled in any direction.
